Pick 11 covers the long transitional stretch when the Riksbank was still navigating the practical consequences of Sweden's 1873 adoption of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, which pegged the krona to gold and formally replaced the riksdaler. The 100 kronor denomination was the workhorse of commercial settlement — retail trade rarely saw notes this large — and surviving examples from the 1880s issues tend to show heavy handling consistent with inter-merchant and banking use.
The series ran nearly two decades without a fundamental redesign, an unusually long lifespan even by the conservative standards of late nineteenth-century European central banking.
